AGM 2008
As I'm sure you are aware, the band had it's AGM on the 22nd February. As always, we had some important matters to discuss, but also some great things to do, such as the presentation of the cheques to our nominated charities.
We said a formal farewell to Bruce as our Main bandleader, and welcome to Adam in his place.
We had a typical turnout of around one third of our membership, but it would have been great to have had more present. We always try to make them as interesting as possible, and would love to hear you views on how the band is run, and what you would do differently.

Band Trailer
The band trailer has now found a new home, in a garage close to St Michael�s church.
We�re now looking for volunteers who can help out with a rota to take it to and from band on a Friday night.
Please speak to a bandleader if you�re willing to help.

Gift Aid enables the band to reclaim tax to increase subscription monies paid (at no cost to yourself).
